Editor crashes fixed
Multiple flip mode text fixes
Flip mode is disabled in the editor
Alt-tab is more usable
Mouse hiding is more intuitive.
Resolution settings are now properly saved.

Instructions:

Replace your current executable with the ones provided.

For OSX you will need to right-click on the .app and choose "show contents", navigate to the MacOS folder and place the file within it.

Its come to my attention that the program does not run on 64 bit Linux.

This is due to a mix-up with the final uploads to the site.  We will have a new fixed version up very soon.
